A computed tomography (CT) apparatus includes a gantry with a first rotation device and a second rotation device, a plurality of light sources configured to emit X-rays to a subject, a detector configured to detect X-rays passing through the subject, and one or more processors. The one or more processors may be configured to rotate the first rotation device in a first rotation direction by an angle of rotation determined based on a total number of the plurality of light sources, emit X-rays to the subject by using at least one of the plurality of light sources and detect X-rays passing through the subject during the rotation of the first rotation device in the first rotation direction, and rotate the first rotation device by the determined angle of rotation in a second rotation direction.

Computed tomography apparatus and method using plurality of light sources

A computed tomography (CT) apparatus includes a gantry including a rotation device which has a ring shape and is rotatable about an axis of rotation, a plurality of light sources configured to emit X-rays to a subject, at least one detector provided on the rotation device and configured to detect X-rays passing through the subject, and one or more processors. The at least one processors are configured to rotate the rotation device in a first rotation direction by an angle of rotation determined based on a total number of the plurality of light sources, emit X-rays to the subject and detect X-rays passing through the subject during the rotation of the rotation device in the first rotation direction, and rotate the rotation device by the determined rotation angle in a second rotation direction.

A computed tomography (CT) apparatus according to various embodiments may include a gantry including a first rotation device, a second rotation device and a third rotation device which have a ring shape, share an axis of rotation, and are rotatable independently of one another, a plurality of first light sources provided on the first rotation device at regular intervals and configured to emit X-rays to a subject, a plurality of second light sources provided on the second rotation device at regular intervals and configured to emit X-rays to the subject, a detector provided on a region of the third rotation device and configured to detect X-rays passing through the subject, and one or more processors.
